Stop trolling.  You’re just embarrassing yourself. [/quote]

It wasnt literal silly. I am the parent who lets her kids play snd be a kid. Im not telling you how to parent your kid. More parents should mind their business unless it is directly harming you and yours. What was your kid doing during while tending to others kids?[/quote]

[quote]Can you pull leaves off trees? Serious question. Because I do this for my son to feel the different textures…maybe ill stop it.[/quote]

Okay, I'll feed the two trolls.

Plants that are growing wild in uncultivated areas (meadows, fields, untended common grounds, woods, etc) are free game.  Plants that you are planting and caring for, like in your yard are free game.

Plants (flowers, bushes, landscaping, trees) that are in someone else's yard, in publicly tended areas or in privately landscaped areas are off-limits.  If someone else is raising plants or paying someone to landscape or tend to plants, you and your children should not be damaging them.  And even though it doesn't seem like taking a leaf or two off of a tree are hurting it, you still should respect that someone else is tending to that tree.  You can pull a branch down and your child can feel the leaf and the texture without taking the leaf off.

So teach your children to respect public and private property that does not belong to you, including the plants.

So, for the first troll, if you want to "let your kids play" and pull up plants, keep them at home and let them pull up the plants that you paid for and that you've been taking care of.  Don't destroy someone else's landscaping because you don't bother to teach your child proper boundaries.[/quote]

Well said. [/quote]

Wrong. The "uncultivated areas" around here are national park land, or municipal park land, and what PP suggests is actually illegal. It's not free game at all.[/quote]
